I rolled my eyes pretty hard at West almost dropping the N word. It’s entirely out of character. He’s given no indication he’s even subconsciously racist. Did this show just feel it needed to point out that every white person imaginable is auto-racist? It was a needless and tacky gesture, boring button-pushing.

I’m amused by all the people saying things like, “Who knew Scoot McNairy was this great!?” Not enough people watched Halt and Catch Fire, alas.

This season has been absolutely heartbreaking. I looked after my father who suffered from dementia for 4 years until he passed away, these scenes have been triggering to say the least.

Scoot McNairy’s powerful performance means that I can no longer judge an actor by their stupid, stupid name. It would be easy for an actor to go really big with such a performance—sobbing, screaming, breaking down—but this is subdued performance that nonetheless conveys the character’s feelings of grief and…

They should win an Emmy for that scene alone. Ali is fantastic. And Dorff...I didn’t think much about him before, but, damn, he’s good too. They’re both haunted by the case and the things they’ve done and they’ve both dealt in different ways. This season is on the same high calibre level as the first season. I can’t…

I was nearly in tears during that scene at the end of the episode with the old men. Absolutely Emmy-worthy performances.

Yep, that’s my theory too—there’s a child trafficking ring and the mom was part of it/knows what happened to her kids. The jackass who is the AG is in on it and so is the CEO of Hoyt, or, whatever his name is from that chicken processing plant.

This. I think I need to turn on closed captioning because a lot of what hear sounds like mumbled nonsense.

No kidding on Dorff. As I watch him in this, I just find myself wondering ‘where the hell has he been all these years?’. I expected Ali to be fantastic, but Dorff has been a revelation.

The two old men crying in the porch is one of the most powerful scenes of this year, and the attack was great in its efficient brutality, without showing off.

Same here. Assuming they can stick the landing, this will probably be my favorite season of the show. These reviewers need to let go of their agendas and just do their job. 

I am really trying to understand what you are even trying to say with this review @emily. True Detective is playing with puzzles instead of exploring mysteries. This I assume is what you’re attempting to make the case for with this review.

Agreed. I’ll go so far as to say it rivaled any scene with McConaughey and Harrelson in season 1. It was that good.

These reviews really mystify me. I’m completely captivated.

Adam Nagaitis completely came out of nowhere and blew me away, really hoping this is a breakout role for him. Agreed on Nive Nielsen doing so much with little given to her due to the character’s certain speech impediment. What happened to Goodsir was perhaps the most vile thing I’ve seen on any media this year and…

How about the ensemble of The Terror? When Ciaran Hinds gives maybe the 6th or 7th best performance on a show, it should really receive more praise.

Absolutely Jared Harris. Tobias Menzies (who was also damned good on Outlander in a thankless role) and Paul Ready were pretty stellar too. Nive Nielsen transcended the limited dialogue the plot allotted her, Ciaran Hinds did great work, and Adam Nagaitis provided maybe the best villain of the year, in television or fi…

Nobody from The Terror?? Really surprised how Darren Criss managed to overshadow Jared Harris this awards season when Judith Light, Finn Wittrock and Cody Fern gave more effective performances with a lot less screen time in Versace

Those rare moments of seething resentment from Philip to Elizabeth were always so intense. 

my favourite Rhys moment: when he tells Elizabeth that he’s sabotaged the plan to kidnap Kimmy. It’s his very subtle sneer when he says “yeah, it’s not gonna happen...”
